 Re: Player petitioning 

 Dear parent and/or guardian: 

 If you wish for your son/daughter to try out for the team(s) outside of their age level.  Below, you will find information on how the petitioning process is conducted. 

By the Hockey Handbook, petitioning is limited to the following criteria:

1) Grade Level of a Player

 2) Team Alignment (team numbers including goalies)

3) Ability Players wishing to petition to try out for team(s) above their age level must:

1) Petition the Hockey Committee for your player to tryout - Petitions must be received by any CYHC member by Monday, October 15, 2012- Indicate why you are requesting to petition- Must satisfy one or more of the above criteria

2) Process: - All petitions must first be approved by the CYHC - CYHC will inform the Hockey Coordinator of those petitioned player(s) - A minimum of 5 tryout sessions per age group is required - Each tryout session is observed and players evaluated by the Player/Team Selection Committee (which includes the coaches and the Hockey Coordinator) - The Player/ Team Selection Committee will make Player and team divisions after the final tryout session.

3) Petitioned Players will: - Be placed on the “A” or “B” team in the level the player petitioned up. 

 Note: All petitioned players and their parents should be well aware that:- Approved players will not be allowed to return to their original age level. 

Example: If approved, squirt players will tryout for Peewee A and/or B team.  The player will participate in peewee level tryouts scheduled for (tentatively) October 29th through November 6th. If the player is chosen for the peewee A or B team the player will appear on that team's roster for the 2012-2013 season.

The Youth Hockey Committee usually meets every 2 weeks.  These meetings are open to the public.  Meeting dates and times are listed on the bulletin board at www.KROXam.com  or you can contact any one of the committee members.
